Spotters Thread For 8V Chassis

Road trip!

Dad lives and works north of Milan, so I flew out Thursday driving back yesterday and today.

He has a 630i convertible that’s needs an MOT so we are bringing it home for a few months.

Went from 15c on Friday to -2c now lol

Brilliant mate, that sounds like an amazing trip. Stunning view of the lakes!
Looks like you're back in UK now, you'll be passing through some snow enroute.
It's white here and at your place currently, with dry powdery drifting snow.
Good fun in the Beemer!
Safe trip bud :thumbs up:

Home safely, 500miles travelling from Ashford, Kent and no snow worth talking about really. Time we got home it had all melted too lol

Trip was good but wish we had more time to stop en-route through Europe. But was good to have some time just me and dad, don’t get to see him a great deal and when I do it’s a few hours with kids and rest of family normally.

Big beemer just ate up the miles.

Happy days

S3 twice

Came back to my car, Sportback on the right, to find a 3dr keeping it company - Poole Sainsburys, a week or so ago (takes me time to do things!)

Black 15 plate S3 SB just north of M6 J12. Very dirty tips :haha: - wasn’t in mine (I’m just a passenger today in a Fiesta ST).
 
Spotted my first Vegas Yellow A3 earlier, 3 door. Don't think I've seen one before!

Also saw this, posted in the RS3 forum but it's still 8V chassis so can go here too ... Wicked number plate, driver was female too so maybe called Amy? :) Just needs those black roof rails....

That's a risky game on that stretch. Cops sit in the layby on the long straight past Balado or the cottage at the start of it every few days, and sometimes further along that bit.
